The Church: Her Books and Her Sacraments
by E. E. (Ernest Edward) Holmes
About the author
Ordained in the 1870s, Ernest Edward Holmes built a long career in the Church of England and went on to serve in a number of prominent clerical roles, including as Vicar of Sonning and later Archdeacon of London. Alongside his church work, he wrote religious books that brought theological ideas to general readers in a direct and approachable way.
Books attributed to him include Immortality and Prayer and Action; or, "The Three Notable Duties." Those titles suggest the range of his interests: practical devotion, Christian teaching, and the larger spiritual questions that shaped everyday faith.
He died in 1931. Although not as widely remembered as some church writers of his era, his books remain of interest to readers who enjoy thoughtful Anglican writing and early 20th-century religious reflection.
